Win8 on my ViewPad10 tablet.... installed WindowsDeveloperPreview-32bit-english install went smooth, connected to WiFi fine...install did overwrite my dual boot setup with Honeycorab...so just re-installed Honeycorab which adRAB the proper dual-boot..can now boot into Honeycorab or Win8 on the tablet.... also: -Change displ key for Metro UI: hklm\system\currentcontrolset\control\class\(4d36e 968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000\Display1_Downscalingsupported to 1 -reboot -set display to 1024x768 FOOTPRINT is 9.10GB on this tablet...it is partitioned as follows 2GB ext3 for android / 29GB for windows...
Tablet recommendation? the Nvidia Tegra tablets seem to be opimized for W8 so i'd keep an eye out for them

Tablet recommendation? (braces herself for laughter and finger pointing) Its a china tab from some company called kinstone model s5pv210 samsung processor running droid gingerbread 2.3.1 total mem 378.89 rab and a dinky 4gb sd card oh and resistive touch I would try but Im not sure how to get my droid back up and running as it was if something goes wrong. Its only a 7 inch square display anyway. Im just starting to learn about android and sdk and roms and things like that. Plus if I brick it I'm down a machine... even if its just a tab.
Tablet recommendation? @kira which is your tab? You have to try it to believe it. Win8 runs fast on my anemic processor. Sure it will fly on the samsung series 7 slate but you dont need that unless you plan to run photoshop on your tablet.
Tablet recommendation? Well a journal said "Sinofsky and co offered BUILD attendees high end swag in the form of a Samsung built tablet running a developer preview of windows 8. The 11.6 inch device features SDK, a recovery environment, a dock to connect with a keyboard or dual monitor, a 64 gb ssd (solid state) hard drive, 4 gb ram and was powered by an intel chipset." Now human nature says they had this designed to run 8 to it's best performance. I would doubt that a tablet that falls short of the specs would run very well. If it's close Id try it. But a tab like mine which is a cheep POS will never run it.
Tablet recommendation? @3dpiper I am running win8 dp on my acer iconia w500. it has a keybord if you need. win8 runs very fast and smooth. no problems. if you dont need keyboard maybe you can get the msi windpad 110w. these are all expensive relatively now but once arm tablets hit the show prices will fall.
Tablet recommendation? No one will know yet becos it's still in pre-beta form. I'd say hold up on buying one at the monent.
Tablet recommendation? Can anyone recommend a tablet that will run W8 well? I was thinking a duo/convertible type, where it has a keyboard but the screen flips around for just tablet use, but I guess a regular slate would work fine as well.. Thanks
